2012 Ferrari 458 Spider DCT S-A 4.5L Petrol · 12 RDM

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 30,899 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that avoids the mechanical or structural degradation typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per annum. Between December 2020 and January 2026, the car covered 10,879 miles, with a notable gap of 2,105 miles between the January 2023 and 2024 tests. This pattern indicates the car is likely stored off for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of rubber component degradation and fluid-related issues that an MOT test may not fully capture. Given the lack of recorded advisories, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer must check for perished rubber brake lines, cracked suspension bushes, and signs of flat-spotting or uneven wear on tyres. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, as these are prone to oxidation when not used regularly. Additionally, verify the integrity of the seals and gaskets to ensure that no dry-start leaks have occurred in high-performance systems that remain stationary for extended months.
